Hi, Also with the 0.8.1-2-b1 version I still have to enter a PIN. After entering the PIN the modem becomes visible (in my case also a CD-icon appears on the desktop). I have to connect manually to the broadband-network (the connect auto however is enabled in the panel).
After closing and remove the stick and re-installing the stick I have to enter the PIN again and also enter the mobile-provider password. The last is not the case when I start the connection for the first time. Reinstalling the 0.8 version (with the correct modemmanager (0.3.2) and ppp (2.4.4) all is back to normal. This makes the network-manager 0.8.1 package unusable for mobile-broadband usage (HUWAI modem).
